Immediate small jobs where things still have to be purchased
- update charts - still need to select the larger scale and harbor
charts for Maine. Possibly another chart or two for Block Island.
A few NOAA charts got wet on the way to Block Island and need to
be replaced.
- Shop tools. Tools to be kept
onboard. - need a good list of what is still needed.
Currently purchasing tools as needed. Right now I need a large

latter two to replace rusted tools.

- Small part spares.(measure and
inventory the clevis and cotter pins)

Small things that would be helpful to do are:
- Plan routing of jack lines and measure jack line length.
- Check current backing plates for winches and other deck hardware
that can cause high stress.

Things that will need to be done over the winter or next spring:
- Get rid of the bimini track and figure out a
better way to mount the bimini.

- Larger solar panels

- replacement battery bank, gel or AGM, 3-4 group 27 or
